- Stone Type
- slate
- Tympanum
- face (alone)
- Border
- The tympanum is protected by a thick border over its dome. Due to its deterioration, we cannot see all the details, but, on the left side, there is a four line border and on the right three lines are used indicating something changes in the lost piece of the tympanum's left top. The right is segmented into two borders (one thick, one thinner) and on the left there are three segments. The inner borders taper to a point at their ends.
ON the left and right are two illustrated columns. They are oblong in shape and both are capped by a modified Canterbury Cross. The rest of the columns are filled with images of leaves and plants.
- Remark
- The face in the center of the tympanum is an early representation that used a circle for the head shape and the eyes. There are pinpoint holes in the center of each eyeball which is disquieting.
The nasal cavity to formed by a confluence of lines with two of them representing nostrils.
The hair is presented as a biradial mirror imaged of poof'ed out hair. Two multipoint ear shaped images are included.
